I have that same decanter. Bought it in the mid 80's from a display at a bar.

Does your seat have the metal bracket with the U shaped catch on the outer door side. I can't tell from your pictures.

I purchased a wood grain panel insert for above the glove box area, but it's warped. Is there any way to straighten this out or have tips you can share? Maybe it will just straighten out when it's bolted to the dash? Thanks

Finally got the covers off & painted black on the engine bay side. They look much better. For what it's worth, they were undercoated underneath, so I left that side alone.

With the responses posted ^^^ I think I'll paint them black. Thanks also to idrive for mentioning the screws being black too. I forgot to ask about those :eusa_doh:

It would be better to remove the back seat and open it from the inside. A locksmith could also make a key for you.

What color are the inspection covers for the upper control arms supposed to be in the engine bay on a 73 RR ? Body color, black or natural I looked thru this forum, but couldn't find the answer.

The blue engine paint is a good idea too. I think I'll try what I have here first. If it turns out crappy, I'll try your paint idea. Masking those little knobs for paint is gonna be difficult I think?

As mentioned already, it doesn't matter and will work either way. Mopar did use the right hand ones for the outers & left hand inners. It's very common to find them switched too.

The color does mimic petty blue. I bought a 2oz bottle at Michael's (art supply store) for less than $2 It's called Americana Gloss Enamel and the color is Calypso Blue. The paint is made for glass and ceramics so it should wear pretty good. Now I need to figure out how to paint the knobs...

Thanks guys. As far as durability goes, I don't think the painted area really gets handled much since it's in the middle of the knob, so it should be okay. I can post info on the paint if anyone is interested.

I've been working on my rallye cluster and found this blue paint at a hobby store. I thought I'd try it on an old broken headlight knob. The knob is pretty faded, so not sure how it looked originally. Does anyone know if this color looks close ?

Thanks for that info and can you post a link?

A 73 Road Runner should have an 8 1/4 rearend

I also mounted both arms to the left pivot then installed. Very big pita to get the pivot bolted back in. Hope that helps Snoman. BeepIn'
